FROM OUT OF THIS WORLD...

Way, way out in the Milky-Bone Galaxy, beyondthe Canine Comets and the famous Dog Star andeven Pluto, there’s a world of friendly creaturesknown as the Planet Rrruff. Here, everyone rompsand runs, sits up and begs, curls upand sleeps, and of course, wagstheir tails. They do a lot of licking.But mostly they like to play. Every-one’s favorite friend was RocketTM.

Each day, other Rrruffians wouldcome over and beg him to play. RocketTM would rollhis eyes patiently, scratch a little, shake and wag histail. Then he would trot along to join his friends in a game of Tag or Rrred Rrrover or Who’s Got theBiscuit? But RocketTM thought there must be more tolife. When night came, he would gaze out at thestars and wonder.”I wonder what else is out there?” “I wonder why stars sparkle?” “I wonder what it’slike to have someone love you?” Then RocketTM

would walk around in a circle three times, lie downand sleep soundly until morning.

One day, just as the sun came up, RocketTM

perked up his ears and sniffed all around. Somethingwas different. Strange. New and wonderful. RocketTM

followed his nose to see where it would lead. Hisnose led him uphill and down, over the Slow Rrriver,through the Rrredwood Forest and right to the edgeof the Rrred Sea. Sitting there, sparkling in the sun,was the strangest contraption RocketTM had ever seen!

...AND INTO YOUR HOME.

“Bow-WOW!” RocketTM barked in wonder as hebounded through the opening of the shiny machine.“It looks like a dog house made of silvery stars! Andlook at all the neat buttons.” Being the wonderingdog he was, RocketTM started pushing those buttonswith his left paw. He was so curious about the flashing lights and whirring sounds, he didn’t evennotice the door sliding closed behind him. But he did notice when the contraption started to move.

Up it flew, soaring into the sky, carrying RocketTM away from the Planet Rrruff and through the Milky-Bone Galaxy, past the Dog Star and theCanine Comets and even Pluto, rocketing himtoward a new world full of exciting new adventures. “I wonder what it will be like...” wondered RocketTM.
